Pastoral Companion to the Roman Missal

This is the essential companion to the new 2011 English translation of The Roman Missal. Father Paul Turner walks you through the newly translated Entrance and Communion Antiphons, Collects, Prayers over the Offerings, and Prayers after Communion for Sundays and solemnities. Helpful pastoral suggestions and historical background are provided in a clear, concise, accessible manner. This eminently pastoral book is filled with helpful scholarship, making connections between the texts of the Missal and the Lectionary. Special bonus: introductions and conclusions to the Prayer of the Faithful for each Sunday and solemnity, written in new Missal style.
